[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 339120, member: 49844"] That card should do..... my personal preference is to try and find passively cooled cards as I like a quiet HTPC - less fans = less noise. If your serious about getting into HD and hardware acceleration, check out Hoborg's SAF. It's basically a codec pack of codecs aimed at HD [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/stand-alone-filters-mediaportal-44614/[/url] With this you won't need to install PDVD 8 itself. BTW, if you don't want to use SAF, you can just install the trial version of PDVD8 then uninstall it. It very nicely (or annoyingly depending on your point of view) leaves its filters behind and registered after uninstallation. I personally think PDVD has a better MPEG 2 decoder than MPV as well.
